"Patriotic! Where did you go at noon?" Wu Aiguo helped Chen Xiaodong buy furniture, and then rode his bicycle back to the supply and marketing cooperative, he just walked into the office, Li Xiangdong followed into the office, and asked Wu Aiguo.

Wu Aiguo heard Li Xiangdong's inquiry and replied with a smile, "Section Chief Li! There was something going on at home, so I took advantage of the meal time at noon to go home."

When Li Xiangdong heard Wu Aiguo's answer, he thought of the notice of the meeting from the Procurement Department of the head office, and immediately said to Wu Aiguo: "Patriotism! The purchasing department of the head office called at 12 o'clock in the morning and told me to go to the head office for a meeting at 2:30 p.m., and it was already 1:40 o'clock, and if we didn't leave quickly, we would definitely be late."

Wu Aiguo learned the news of the meeting announced by the head office, and while following Li Xiangdong to the office, he asked curiously, "Section Chief Li! Shouldn't a meeting be given a day's notice? How can a meeting be held at short notice? In addition, you can just attend the meeting of the purchasing department of the head office, so why do you have to bring me, the deputy section chief?"

Regarding the sudden announcement of the meeting by the head office, not to mention that Wu Aiguo was curious, Li Xiangdong was also puzzled, and in the face of Wu Aiguo's inquiry, Li Xiangdong said with a puzzled face: "Patriotic! To be honest, when I first received this call, I was also very puzzled, because this is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing."

The two rode bicycles and spent half an hour before they came to the supply and marketing headquarters.

"Lao Li! You're here!" The two had just arrived at the gate of the supply and marketing headquarters, and a middle-aged man riding a bicycle saw Li Xiangdong and immediately greeted Li Xiangdong warmly.

When Li Xiangdong saw the visitor, he immediately greeted the other party warmly: "It's Lao Qiu! It's been a long time, how can you kid lose so much weight?"

Lao Qiu heard Li Xiangdong's inquiry, thought of the work pressure during this time, and complained to Li Xiangdong with a sad face: "Lao Li! It's not because the rations allocated by the head office are getting less and less, and the people in the jurisdiction can't buy things, so they make trouble at the gate of the society.

Lao Qiu's words were introduced here, and then he saw Wu Aiguo standing next to Li Xiangdong, and asked Li Xiangdong with a curious face, "Lao Li! This little brother! Could it be the deputy section chief of the procurement department of your Chaoyang Society, Comrade Wu Aiguo?"

Li Xiangdong heard Lao Qiu's inquiry, and immediately introduced to Lao Qiu: "Lao Qiu! You guessed it right, this is Comrade Wu Aiguo!"

Li Xiangdong introduced this, and then introduced to Wu Aiguo: "Patriotism! Let me introduce you, this is Section Chief Qiu of the Purchasing Department of Fengtai Society, Comrade Qiu Changqing!"

When Qiu Changqing heard Li Xiangdong's introduction, he hurriedly greeted Wu Aiguo warmly: "Patriotic comrade! It's the first time we've met, but I'm so familiar with your name!"

When Wu Aiguo heard Qiu Changqing's praise, a flattered expression immediately appeared on his face, and he hurriedly replied, "Section Chief Qiu! I'm just a new recruit, and when you say that, I feel ashamed."

When Qiu Changqing heard Wu Aiguo's answer, he said to Li Xiangdong with envy: "Old Li! I really envy you, having a patriotic comrade as a powerful person as your assistant, comfortably waiting for retirement."

Li Xiangdong heard Qiu Changqing's words, saw Qiu Changqing's envious expression, and thought of the sudden announcement of the meeting by the Procurement Department of the head office today, and asked Qiu Changqing curiously, "Old Qiu! Do you know what happened when the Procurement Department notified us of a meeting?"

When Qiu Changqing heard Li Xiangdong's inquiry, he thought of the reason for the meeting notified by the head office, and a sad expression immediately appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth to introduce Li Xiangdong: "Lao Li! At noon, when I received a call from the purchasing department, I asked more questions on the phone."

"The people in the purchasing department told me that because of the lack of supplies due to the large-scale steelmaking movement, the head office decided to delegate the procurement authority, and all the materials in the future will be procured by the branches in each district by themselves."

Li Xiangdong learned the purpose of the head office to convene a meeting, thinking of the difficulty of purchasing materials with this idea, his brows couldn't help but wrinkle, and he said with a sad face: "Delegating the right to procure seems to be increasing the power of the branch, but in fact, it is just brushing the pot, it seems that this is today

The meeting is not destined to have a good outcome."

When Qiu Changqing heard Li Xiangdong's words, he nodded approvingly and replied, "Your Chaoyang branch, with the powerful patriotic person, naturally don't have to worry about the shortage of materials, we and the other branches, I'm afraid we will have a hard time from now on!"

During the chat, the three of them parked their bicycles and came to an office, which was already full of cadres who had come to the meeting.

The cadres in the office greeted Li Xiangdong and Qiu Changqing warmly when they saw the arrival of Li Xiangdong and Qiu Changqing.

"Patriotic comrade! Hello!" Just as everyone was greeting Li Xiangdong and Qiu Changqing, a middle-aged man walked up to Wu Aiguo quickly and greeted Wu Aiguo with a warm face.

When Wu Aiguo saw the middle-aged man who greeted him, he immediately recognized the other party as the purchasing section chief of the Changping branch, and quickly reached out to shake the other party's hand, and greeted politely: "Section Chief Jiang! Hello!"

Section Chief Jiang greeted Wu Aiguo, and hurriedly said to Wu Aiguo, "Section Chief Wu! There's an empty seat over there, so let's go over there and sit there."

"Old ginger! Who is this little comrade? Why don't you give us an introduction?" Just as Section Chief Jiang and Wu Aiguo were walking towards the vacant seat in the corner, a middle-aged man saw Wu Aiguo walking with Section Chief Jiang and immediately stepped forward to ask Section Chief Jiang.

Section Chief Jiang heard the middle-aged man's inquiry, and introduced to the middle-aged man with a smile, "Old Gong! Let me introduce you to you, this is the deputy chief of our Chaoyang Branch, the Procurement Section, Comrade Wu Aiguo!"

Section Chief Jiang introduced this, and then introduced to Wu Aiguo: "Section Chief Wu! This is the chief of the Daxing Branch, the Procurement Section! Comrade Gong Derui!"

When Gong Derui heard Section Chief Jiang's introduction and learned of Wu Aiguo's identity, he immediately stretched out his hands and greeted Wu Aiguo warmly: "Comrade Wu Aiguo! I've heard of your name for a long time, and I've finally met you today." qδ

Wu Aiguo heard Gong Derui's words and saw the other party's attitude, and immediately realized that what he did in Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperatives must have spread within the system.

In the face of Gong Derui's compliment, Wu Aiguo pretended to be flattered and replied, "Section Chief Gong! I'm just a recruit to our supply and marketing cooperative, and you really make me feel ashamed when you say that."
